Location
Located on a busy street close to train and subway stations
Hotel King David is located on the corner of a busy intersection. Most of the major attractions, such as Prague Castle and the Old Jewish Cemetery, aren't in walking distance and require a taxi or a ride on public transportation. However, transportation links are excellent -- the main train and bus station is almost next door, and no fewer than three subway stations are within walking distance. - One-minute walk to main train and bus station
